Go For a Masters, Or Not?

Wouldn't this be simpler with a poll?
I agree with those that said a technical Masters doesn't get you much, fresh out of college. Find a good job, then (after a year or two) get them to pay for your Masters. You will be getting something for nothing (perhaps obligation to work a certain period), and you'll have time to consider exactly which Masters degree you want. I waited 10 years after my BSEE, and I wish I hadn't, but I'm happy that I realized an MSEE is not my preferred career path. I got a MBA, and I think it was the best choice:)
Very funny, but illogical. If they love the digit 8, they picked the wrong radix, as they can't use "8" with the octal radix. They either love the number 010 (7+1), or they hate 8 and 9:)
Your analogy is simplistic and inaccurate. If you can distinguish Chinese from Spanish, then you have a good chance of imitating Chinese and Spanish enough that a fellow English-speaker could identify your imitations correctly. Same thing with the computer. If the computer has a model of computer speech, then it probably has the ability to imitate human speech, maybe not to sound like human speech, but enough to pass its own test of whether speech is human or computer.

What did the year off teach you? Please provide the results of your sabbatical, so we can have the benefits without making the sacrifice.

Did you return to the same type of job? Did you subsequently try anything new? Did it result in large changes in personal life or professional life?
Thanks
